Luigi Maifredi reveals why Tudor is the right coach for Juventus Igor Tudor is the latest manager of Juventus, and the Bianconeri are hopeful that he can help the team recover from their disappointing form under Thiago Motta. With only a few matches remaining to salvage their season, Juventus are aiming to secure a top-four finish, which would guarantee their participation in the Champions League next season. ............ Former Juventus manager Luigi Maifredi, however, believes that Tudor is the right man to lead the team forward. Maifredi argues that Tudor’s experience and knowledge of what it takes to succeed at Juventus make him an ideal fit. He suggested that Tudor’s familiarity with the club will be vital, especially in comparison to Motta, who struggled to adapt: “The Bianconeri did well to change coach. Tudor is the right man because he knows the job. He doesn’t make a fuss. Another would have had to adapt, while for the Croatian Juve is his home. “Motta’s mistake was to copy and paste Bologna, but that was a sensational adventure, he was good, but the results were also the result of chance.” ............ .

Journalist explains what we can expect from Tudor’s Juventus Juventus will enter a new era when they face Genoa this weekend, and the Bianconeri will need to secure a victory to kickstart Igor Tudor’s tenure. Given that even the underperforming Thiago Motta managed to win his first Serie A match, Tudor will have little room for excuses when it comes to delivering a positive result. ............ Tudor’s managerial approach differs significantly from that of his predecessor, and while it would be wise not to make too many changes to the set-up at the Allianz Stadium immediately, the new manager will likely introduce key tactical differences. One of the most notable changes will be in the formation and style of play, which Tudor aims to implement right away. The players will need to quickly adapt to the new methods, and Giovanni Guardalà has provided some insight into what we can expect from Tudor’s approach. “From today, Tudor will have all the internationals available with the first tactical tests of Tudor’s team, with his reference game system. The basis will be a three-man defense with great intensity in the man-to-man approach. Certainly an important phase begins with Tudor who will try to shake up an environment depressed by the disappointing season.” ............ This shift in tactical approach marks a clear departure from the previous setup under Motta. The introduction of a three-man defence and a more intense, man-to-man marking style will require Juventus players to adapt quickly. Tudor’s focus will be on creating a high-intensity, organised structure that can provide results on the field, especially after a season that has left many feeling disillusioned. ............ .

Juventus could also sack Giuntoli at the end of this season Juventus placed a huge responsibility on Cristiano Giuntoli at the start of this season when he was appointed as the club’s new sporting director. Having enjoyed considerable success at Napoli, Giuntoli’s impressive track record earned him the prestigious role at Juventus, with the Bianconeri aiming to reclaim their dominance in Italian football. ............ If Juventus fail to qualify for the Champions League by the end of the season, the club could make a similar decision regarding Giuntoli’s future. His primary objective this season was to secure a top-four finish, and failure to do so may result in consequences for him, just as it did for Motta. The expectations are clear: results must improve, and Juventus cannot afford further underachievement. The pressure is mounting on all individuals within the club, and Giuntoli, as the sporting director, must deliver on his commitments. If the team fails to meet the necessary goals by the season’s end, Giuntoli could find himself paying the price for the club’s shortcomings. ............ .

“Juventus can recover” Manfredonia expresses his confident in Igor Tudor Igor Tudor is being backed to make a significant impact at Juventus and help them secure a top-four finish in Serie A, ensuring qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League. The Croatian manager has only just been appointed, stepping in at a crucial time when Juventus’ season is hanging in the balance. With just nine games left in the league, the Bianconeri must work tirelessly to achieve their primary objective: finishing in the top four. ............ The first major test of Tudor’s tenure will come this weekend when Juventus faces Genoa. This fixture will be a defining moment, as a victory could instil renewed confidence within the squad and set the tone for the remaining matches. ............ Former Juventus player Lionello Manfredonia has been closely monitoring the situation at the Allianz Stadium and has expressed his confidence in Tudor’s ability to steer the team in the right direction. He shared his thoughts on the managerial change: “He has always been one to take teams on the run, he has to work for 4 months, and I think Juventus can recover.” Manfredonia’s belief in Tudor reflects the trust that many within the footballing world have in the Croatian manager. His previous coaching experience and familiarity with Juventus as a former player put him in a strong position to understand the club’s culture and expectations. ............ .

“You’re not Messi” – Journalist reveals how Thiago Motta addressed a Juventus star Former Juventus coach Thiago Motta certainly wasn’t the most beloved figure in Turin, as he hardly made himself any favours with his questionable man-management skills. ............ The 42-year-old was accused of being too brusque while addressing the squad. The players also didn’t appreciate the way he dealt with Nicolo Fagioli and Danilo who were pushed out of the club in January. Hence, Motta never endeared himself to the players, and their lack of reaction upon his sacking was telling enough. ............ Moreover, Sandro Sabatini reveals a training-ground incident that summarises the manager’s approach. The Italian journalist claims that Motta tried to put Kenan Yildiz in his place by reminding him he’s not exactly on Lionel Messi’s level. “Yildiz, at a certain point, evaporates in Thiago Motta’s hierarchy,” recalled Sabatini. “He’s a young guy, he found himself tossed around left and right and on a couple of occasions. During a training session, Motta told him: ‘Who do you think you are? You’re not Messi'”. ............ It simply appears that the former Bologna coach had lost the plot and had very few allies at the club, and that is mostly of his own doing, as he failed to forge amicable relationships with his players who hardly put up a fight in Florence while their manager’s job was on the line. .

Tudor mi ha fatto rivivere con le sue parole le emozioni che mi diede la "sua"Juve. Ha nominato Zidane, Del Piero, Montero per tacere degli altri. Quella Juve faceva paura agli avversari quando vedevano la carica e la voglia di vincere che quei grandi campioni avevano. Tudor ha pronunciato la parola magica: Umiltá. Quei grandi campioni si allenavano e giocavano senza pensare alla loro fama ma con la stessa umiltá delle seconde linee. I campioni che non si montano la testa sono i piú grandi. Anche Cristiano Ronaldo appartiene a questa categoria. Spero che Igor possa trasmettere la sua carica ai giocatori attuali e che finalmente apprendino cosa significa veramente la Juventus.

Grande Mister!

Tanti auguri Khephren!

Dopo essere stato visionato dall'allora allenatore del Brescia Edy Reja giunge in giovane età, nel 1996, alla squadra lombarda, che dopo un periodo di stage lo rimanda in patria, in prestito in seconda serie croata al Mosor. Il suo trasferimento alle rondinelle crea alcuni problemi con la Federazione Croata, intenzionata a non privarsi dei giocatori delle nazionali giovanili. Dopo una serie di stagioni nella Serie A e B italiane inizia a militare in serie professionistiche minori. Nel Brescia gioca in tutto 49 gare con un gol a Udine in Udinese-Brescia (3-1) in Serie A. Il 23 maggio 2004 la sua carriera è pesantemente messa a rischio a seguito di un incidente di gioco durante la partita Rimini-Arezzo. Dopo il trapianto di menisco esterno - primo calciatore professionista sottoposto ad un tale intervento - ritorna in campo dopo 29 mesi di stop, con il Pizzighettone in serie C1. Dopo cinque operazioni subite al ginocchio, l'ultima nell'aprile 2009, ed anche a causa di problemi cronici alla cartilagine, ha chiuso la sua carriera da calciatore a soli 30 anni. Nazionale Con la nazione giovanile ha fatto tutta la trafila dal U-15 al U-21, senza però mai passare alla nazionale maggiore. Con i mali vatreni disputò una sola partita valida per le qualificazioni di categoria di Euro 2002 contro il Belgio U-21, tenutasi il 1º settembre 2000 e persa per 2 a 1. Allenatore Da agosto 2009 lavora nel settore giovanile del Brescia, allenando i Giovanissimi Nazionali, poi la formazione "Berretti" per due campionati e quindi la "Primavera". Il 15 dicembre 2014 viene promosso ad allenatore della prima squadra a seguito dell'esonero di Ivo Iaconi; dal gennaio 2015 ne diventa vice, lasciando l'incarico a Salvatore Giunta in quanto sprovvisto del patentino necessario richiesto dalla Lega Calcio per poter allenare una squadra di Serie B. Il 31 gennaio, a seguito del cambio di proprietà del club ed a due sconfitte consecutive, viene esonerato insieme a Giunta e sostituito da Alessandro Calori. Il 27 ottobre 2015 diventa il nuovo allenatore del Mantova subentrando all'esonerato Riccardo Maspero in Lega Pro; sceglie come suo vice Gabriele Graziani. L'esperienza sulla panchina dei biancorossi finisce il 14 marzo 2016, quando viene sostituito da Luca Prina. Il 17 aprile 2017 diventa il nuovo allenatore della Pro Patria, in Serie D. Il 6 maggio 2018 porta la squadra alla promozione in Serie C e il 2 giugno vince lo scudetto di serie D. Seguono tre stagioni in Serie C, con un ottavo, un undicesimo e un quinto posto nel girone A. L'8 giugno 2021 la società bustocca comunica il mancato rinnovo dell'allenatore croato, che lascia così il club dopo quattro anni. Il 14 giugno 2021 firma un contratto biennale con il Südtirol, in Serie C. Il 24 aprile 2022, vincendo all'ultima giornata di campionato, conduce gli altoatesini alla prima promozione nella loro storia in Serie B, vincendo il girone A con 90 punti e con solo 9 gol subiti. Il 9 giugno 2022 rescinde consensualmente il contratto con la società altoatesina. Subito dopo la rescissione con i biancorossi, firma un contratto triennale con il Venezia, in Serie B. Il 31 ottobre 2022, con la squadra terzultima con 9 punti dopo 11 giornate, viene esonerato dalla guida del club lagunare. Il 18 marzo 2024, rescinde il proprio accordo con i veneti, per approdare alla Lazio come vice del suo connazionale Igor Tudor. Il 23 marzo 2025, in seguito all'esonero di Thiago Motta, segue Igor Tudor come vice sulla panchina della Juventus.

Joyeux anniversaire Khephren! (24)

Assolutamente no. Tudor ha giá cominciato a far capire ai giocatori cosa significhi giocare alla Juventus.

Stefano Okaka su Tudor: È molto esigente. Passa il tempo a caricarti, spronandoti a dare il meglio. Non gli basta mai. In spogliatoio poi è per distacco uno degli allenatori più simpatici che abbia mai avuto. Scherza tanto, ma quando mette i piedi in campo - che sia per l’allenamento o per la partita - si trasforma e diventa un’altra persona. Nel mio secondo anno a Udine, non eravamo partiti benissimo in campionato, così lui un giorno entra nello spogliatoio con la camicia Hawaiana e fa: 'Ragazzi mi sono già vestito per andare in vacanza, anche perché se continuiamo così mi fanno fuori sicuro'…

Danilo hits out at agent for criticising new Juventus coach Former Juventus captain Danilo has hit out at his agent for criticising the decision to hire Igor Tudor in place of Thiago Motta. ‘I absolutely do not agree.’ The defender was effectively pushed out of the club during the January transfer window after falling down the pecking order under coach Motta. At the time, his agent Bruno Misorelli had been bitterly critical of Motta. ............ Now that the dismissal is official and Motta has been replaced by Tudor, Misorelli is still not happy and said as much on his X account. “The first mistake was Motta, the next is Tudor. They have learned nothing.” ............ “I absolutely do not agree with the comments from my agent, and I would never dare to give advice to the directors on what to do. Danilo said. “I am a supporter from afar and wish Juve all the best.” The 33-year-old is continuing his career back home in Brazil, having made the transfer to Flamengo in January. ............ .

Italia e Olanda eliminate. Bene cosí ......

The most embarrassing Juventus results under Thiago Motta This season has been particularly challenging for Juventus, defined largely by their inability to secure victories against opponents they would typically be expected to defeat. ............ Juventus vs Atalanta Juventus’ humiliating 4-0 home defeat to Atalanta was a defining moment in their season, sealing Thiago Motta’s fate. ............ Juventus vs Empoli (Coppa Italia) Juventus’ Coppa Italia elimination at the hands of Empoli stands out as one of the most painful moments of the season. ............ Juventus vs Venezia A 2-2 draw against Venezia was another frustrating result, particularly because Juventus had initially taken the lead. ............ Lecce vs Juventus Juventus’ inability to close out matches was again evident in their 1-1 draw against Lecce. Conceding an equaliser in the 93rd minute not only cost them valuable points but also reinforced the perception that this Juve side cannot be relied upon to see out victories. ............ Juventus vs Parma Juventus’ 2-2 draw with Parma was yet another match in which they failed to impose themselves. From the 49th minute onwards, the score remained level, yet despite having over 40 minutes to find a winner, the Bianconeri were unable to break the deadlock. ............ .

Breaking: Juventus officially sack Thiago Motta, appoint Igor Tudor Juventus have announced the sacking of Thiago Motta who has been replaced by Igor Tudor until the end of the season. The news has been in the air over the past 24 hours, as the club’s directors have decided to take action following several days of discussion. ............ “Juventus FC announce that Thiago Motta has been relieved of his duties as Men’s First Team coach,” reads the club’s official statement. “The club would like to thank Thiago Motta and all of his staff for their professionalism and for the work they have carried out in recent months with passion and dedication. The club wish them the best of luck for the future.” ............ “Juventus FC also announce that the Men’s First Team will now be led by Igor Tudor, who will take charge of his first training session tomorrow, Monday, 24 March.” This will be the Croatian’s third spell in Turin, having played for the club during his heyday between 1998 and 2007 an then serving as Andrea Pirlo’s assistant coach during the 2020/21 season. ............ .

“Everyone was against him” – Why Igor Tudor left Marseille & Lazio Juventus are preparing to appoint Igor Tudor as caretaker coach, but the Croatian’s last two managerial experiences are raising a few concerns amongst the club’s supporters. ............ Afterwards, he enjoyed a solid campaign as Hellas Verona’s head coach which earned him a major step up to Olympique Marseille. But despite yielding solid results and finishing third in Ligue 1, Tudor still decided to leave the French club. For his part, OM president Pablo Longaria reflected on the manager’s decision while acknowledging the difficulties he endured during his time at Velodrome. “I wouldn’t wish what Igor suffered on my worst enemy”. “He found himself at a club where everyone was against him, from the inside and outside. ............ Tudor then took over from Maurizio Sarri when the latter resigned from Lazio in March 2024, but he only lasted at the club for three months before agreeing on a mutual termination with Claudio Lotito. The reason behind this decision was the Croatian’s desire to revamp the squad by replacing 10 players! ............ .

Di Marzio reveals key clause in Juventus agreement with Igor Tudor Igor Tudor will soon be handed the reins at Juventus on a temporarily basis, but he might end up dwelling in Turin longer than expected. Over the past 24 hours or so, almost every major news source in Italian football has confirmed that the Bianconeri have decided to wield the axe on Thiago Motta’s tenure. For his part, Tudor is expected to arrive in Turin in the coming hours to sign a three-month contract. In fact, the sources insist the Croatian’s willingness to accept a short-term deal was an integral factor in the club’s decision, as the directors didn’t want a long-term commitment at this stage, preferring to keep their options open for the summer. So according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the 46-year-old is now all set to sign a three-month deal as he’ll try to halt the club’s horrific fall and inspire a revival. The source also expects Tudor’s compatriot and former assistant at Lazio, Ivan Javorcic, to join the technical staff. ............ Tudor’s contract will include a renewal option that can be triggered in case the manager succeeds in landing a spot in next season’s edition of the Champions League. ............ Juventus currently sit 5th in the standings after being usurped by Bologna following their woeful beatdowns at the hands of Atalanta and Fiorentina. Moreover, Lazio are still breathing down their neck, while the revived Roma could emerge as a Dark Horse in the race. .

Giuntoli told Motta: ‘I am ashamed at having chosen you’ In a shock report, Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli told coach Thiago Motta he was ‘ashamed at having chosen you’ for the job. ............ Motta is currently in Portugal for time with his family during the break for international duty, with Igor Tudor expected in Turin this evening to take over. ............ The face to face meeting with Motta and chief Maurizio Scanavino went so badly that Giuntoli even said: “I am ashamed at having chosen you.” It might’ve been an attempt to push Motta into tending his resignation, therefore saving money that Juventus will otherwise have to shell out in order to fire their coach just eight months into the job. .

Juventus bracing for tactical revolution: How will the team line up under Tudor? Juventus fans can expect a drastically different formation with Igor Tudor taking over from Thiago Motta. ............ Tudor has been identified as the right profile to lead the club’s charge, at least temporarily, and steer them back in the right direction, making sure they finish in the Top 4. However, the Croatian’s arrival will be accompanied by a tactical revolution similar to the one witnessed a year ago when he took over Maurizio Sarri at Lazio. The 46-year-old won’t think twice before implementing his tried-and-trusted 3-4-2-1 formation. So which players will be picked as starters in this tactical system? Federico Gatti will be the favourite to maintain his role at the back, while Pierre Kalulu, Renato Veiga and Lloyd Kelly will be vying for the two other roles. On the flanks, Andrea Cambiaso and Timothy Weah should represent ideal options for the wingback slots. ............ In the middle of the park, Tudor will be looking for physicality, something that Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram can bring, while Weston McKennie represents an alternative option. Teun Koopmeiners could be set for an attacking-midfielder role similar to the one he interpreted in Gian Piero Gasperini’s formation, but Kenan Yildiz and Nico Gonzalez both represent viable options for the two spots behind the striker. Finally, Tudor’s admiration could see Dusan Vlahovic retain his role upfront, or at least get a fair chance to prove himself in his duel against Randal Kolo Muani. Juventus XI (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio, Gatti, Kalulu, Renato Veiga; Weah, Locatelli, Thuram (McKennie), Cambiaso; Yildiz, Nico Gonzalez (Koopmeiners); Vlahovic (Kolo Muani) .
